Discount stores recall cooking sauces over allergy fears

A number of UK discount stores are recalling packets of stir fry sauces over fears they may have been mislabelled and could pose an allergy risk.

The makers of Blue Dragon sauces say a packing error may mean some packets might contain allergens, including shellfish, soya and gluten, not mentioned on the packet.

Anyone who has bought any of the triple packs of Blue Dragon sauce is asked to return it to the store where they purchased it.

The sauces were sold in branches of B&M, TJ Morris, Netto and Poundworld and the following products are affected:

Blue Dragon ‘Value Pack’ 3 x sachets of Sweet Chilli Stir Fry

Blue Dragon ‘Value Pack’ 3 x sachets of Oyster and Spring Onion Sauce

Blue Dragon ‘Value Pack’ 3 x sachets of Chow Mein Sauce

A statement from the manufacturer said: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to shellfish, soya and and/or gluten, or an intolerance to these allergens, please do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where you bought it for a full refund, or contact our care line on 0800 197 1679.
